Mining site worker dies after rock collapse in Kabusa

By: Zagazola Makama

A mining site worker identified as Adam Bahago, also known as Peter, has died following a rock collapse at a site operated by Inhui Mining Company in the Kabusa area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The incident occurred on June 29 at about 3:20 p.m., while the deceased was carrying out routine work at the site. Bahago, a native of Kaduna State and a member of the Koro ethnic group, was reportedly struck by a large falling rock.

According to the site manager, Brown Ekelechi John, the victim sustained critical injuries during the collapse and was immediately rushed to Asokoro General Hospital for medical attention. He was, however, confirmed dead on arrival by medical personnel.

His remains have since been deposited at the hospital’s mortuary, and his family has been duly notified.

Preliminary findings indicate the incident may be linked to structural weaknesses in the rock face, prompting renewed calls for stricter adherence to safety protocols in artisanal and commercial mining operations across the FCT.
